Heartbeats Heart Support and Education Charity is Coming to St Heliers
Over 12,000 people are admitted to New Zealand hospitals each year with heart attack, cardiac arrest or heart disease.
It is the silent killer of 10,000 Kiwis each year and affects all ages.
Heartbeats is a charitable trust, and non-profit organization that provides heart event survivors with support, education and referral to allied healthcare services.
It is community-based group, with over 200 members across Auckland and with four 'chapters' (local groups) operating on the North Shore, West and Central Auckland.
We hold regular informal, monthly group meetings and have guest speakers along to educate and advise: cardiologists, GP's. dietitians, pharmacists, health psychologists and physiotherapists/exercise physiologists.
We are looking to start a St Heliers/Glendowie group in June.
If you are a heart event survivor, or have a family member who is, please give Trent (Heartbeats Convenor) a call on 0220 606 199
It's FREE and everyone, of all cultures and heart conditions, is WELCOME.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
